Clock Tower: Rewind is set to launch in Fall 2024 for multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This release marks a revival of the original survival horror, point-and-click, side-scrolling adventure game, Clock Tower, which was initially released for the Super Famicom in 1995.
The game offers two modes:
- Original Mode: This mode allows players to experience the game as it was originally released, maintaining the classic graphics, sound, and gameplay mechanics.
- Rewind Mode: This enhanced mode includes numerous quality-of-life improvements and additional content. It features bug fixes, faster healing for the protagonist Jennifer, the ability to run up and down steps, extra items, and hiding spots. It also incorporates elements from the PlayStation 1 version of the game, such as new rooms and events. The infamous Scissorman character has been made more challenging, with the ability to follow players through rooms and up and down steps.
Clock Tower: Rewind is being published by Limited Run Games and developed in collaboration with WayForward, Sunsoft, and Capcom. The game will be available in both digital and physical editions, with pre-orders for the physical versions having been open from May 31 to June 30, 2024. The physical editions include a standard version and a collector’s edition, which comes with various collectibles and bonus items.
